Detroit City

Lyrics

You know last night I went to sleep in Detroit city
 And I dreamed about those cotton fields and home
 I dreamed about my mother, dear old papa, sisters and brothers
 ♪
 And I dreamed about a love who's been waiting there so long
 I want to go home
 I want to go home
 Oh how I want to go home
 My kinfolks think I'm big in Detraoit city
 ♪
 From all the letters that I write, they think I'm fine
 By day I make the cars
 But, by night I make all the bars
 Oh if only they's just read between the lines
 They'd know I want to go home
 I want to go home
 Oh how I want to go home
 You know I rode a freight train north to Detroit city
 ♪
 And after all these years I find I've been wasting my time
 Think I'll put my foolish pride on a southbound train and ride
 Heading back to the loved ones I left there waiting behind
 I want to go home
 I want to go home
 Oh how I want to go home
 I want to go home
 I want to go home
 Oh how I want to go home
 ♪
 I want to go home
 Yes I want to go home
 Oh how I want to go home
 ♪
 I want to go home
 Yes I want to go home
